YES! Huge upgrade on the Doha route then. We literally had no option for proper beds until this. I am really pleased about this. I never saw F availability to/from Doha on QR, I'm guessing that was before I started to fly to ME and Africa.

I really don't care about the premium terminal if CX doesn't get access....personally think the whole concept is overrated. The simple fact is I'm still stuck connecting in Doha and no amount of amenities, limo buses to the airplane and whatever else makes that better to me than a non-stop. I definitely don't recharge in the lounge. I'd rather be more comfortable on the plane and sleeping. Thus the premium terminal is NOT a game changer in my decision between QR and CX given CX is offering new J versus QR's product, which is frankly similar to two iterations of J class ago for CX pre-2008.

Returning from Africa on QR, after a 3-4 hour regional flight, I find myself dreading those slanty beds for the "relaxing" return leg. Now I can actually look forward to the last overnight leg with CX. Sweet.
